2017 opened 2024. Strange but lovely. I normally hate Chardonnay, but this is quite interesting—maybe because it was sitting in a cupboard for years? Citrus with hint of red licorice on nose. Apricots and pineapple on the front. Lots of zip on the mid palate (reminds me of a Sauvignon blan). And it has a long lasting mineral finish. Damn! This is nice!
